The standard of presentation and decoration throughout the house is extremely high, with the further benefits of numerous character features, including exposed beams and a number of feature fireplaces.
Although this large character cottage has been extended over the years, due to the large size of the property’s rear garden, in our opinion, subject to planning, there is scope to perhaps extend this wonderful village residence further, by adding on a large orangery / conservatory, or even a two-storey extension.
